A nano tank layout featuring Earth, water and air fusion, 14 L, by Leonid Angelevych. The composition is built around Driftwood.
Hardscape (Driftwood) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Underwater: Bucephalandra, Microsorum pteropus, Pistia stratiotes. Above water: Ionantha — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Small river pebbles substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
LED 7W 6500K lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this nano tank. Filter-waterfall filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
